BMP/GIF displaying

[david br]

I have a Java applet that diplays text it recieves from a distant server.Now i want to add GIF/BMP's to the packets and display them.

So the problem is: What is the easiest way to load a BMP/GIF from a buffer (not a URL) and how do i display it?

I don't think there is direct support for BMPs in Java.

But for GIFs, if you get data of a GIF "exactly same" as a byte array, you might be able to create Image object out of it. And use it in your applet just like other Image objects.
